One giant reason the war against drugs has been a compete and utter failure is that police officers around the nation use the supposed smell of marijuana as an excuse to search peoples possessions and if need be beat them to a pulp.
According to Information Liberation:
"Some time after taking him into custody, the officers became aware that the individual was in what they believed was medical distress. They immediately began life-saving measures and requested the response of the ambulance," Rodriguez said.
WBAL reported that West had a lengthy criminal record, including resisting arrest charges, and had done 12 years in state prison on drug dealing charges.
WBAL spoke to various witnesses, none of whom wanted to be identified. One witness said police sprayed West with an unknown substance and beat him with billy clubs.
"The two police officers were on top of the man punching him in his side," the witness said. "They sprayed the man directly in his face. The man tries to get up to avoid that he can't see, but he knew he was being abused, so he ran. Police ran after him. He screamed for help because they started beating him with batons and everything."
Homicide detectives are investigating the incident.
Medical distress from being beaten and sprayed with God know's what. Shocking. Police officers around the nation beat the crap out of people, smashing their heads in with batons and then act surprised when they die?! Talk about cruel and unusual punishment.
